Raodster is the best car I have ever owned including two BMW over the years and also a Porsche and Lotus Cortina. Roadster has made me a better driver and it is the most fun of any car I have ever driven. Also it has been trouble free.

I live in Vermont and must drive on dirt roads. There may be a lot of dust. How does the electric motor stay cool (or does it not get that hot)? Would dusty conditions be taxing for it?

Roadster's received plenty of dust testing, especially now that it's got millions of miles on the roads and several evolutions under its belt. I wouldn't worry about a little dirt, except for that fact that you might have to wash it more frequently :).

I have just ordered the roadster 2.5 model with upgraded suspension. I was wondering if anybody has compared this model with the sport version . Is there enough performance difference to subtantiate the cost

I think its just great that tesla will be producing a more affordable EV. It seems the American car companies simply can not do it. The chevy volt held much promise but the asking price is 41k$ sorry GM i am not going to pay that kind of money for your product. Now Tesla is going to release a product that well hands down is better than the volt and is 8k$ more. GM is going to try and take advantage of US customers right up until this is release i bet then realize their error.
With all this healthy competition it looks like i can hold out hope to be a very proud Tesla owner in a few years.

HM;
excellent point! Especially considering that the Volt may end up burning gas for most of its battery charge, should you venture beyond 40mi/day.

BTW, did you notice my post on the previous boards about Oklahoma? If you file taxes there, you're eligible for a 50% of purchase price credit for a pure EV! The Volt won't qualify; the Model S will.
